Morning. Sora lay fast asleep on the couch downstairs as Roxas and Axel both slept in the bed upstairs. As the bright sun shone through the windows, the blond opened his eyes and sat up, slowly. He stretched and looked around.

"Wait a sec…why am I here? Didn't I fall asleep downstairs?" The blue eyed boy slowly got out of bed and put the covers back over his snoring friend, Axel who still slept heavily.

"I shouldn't wake him up."

Downstairs, Roxas walked straight through the living room and into the kitchen, and into the fridge, pulling out the carton of milk. As he drunk the last tiny bit of milk, Sora shifted and fell off of the couch, making a thud nose and waking him up.

"Ouch…what the-?"

"Oh, morning sleepy head!" Roxas shouted this from the kitchen and giggling.

"Good Morning!" Sora sat back on the couch, smiling at Roxas as he sat next to him.

"You're even noisy waking up aren't you?" Roxas looked at Sora with a milk mustache.

"Um, you have a-"

"Morning all!" Axel appeared at the bottom of the stairs. He nearly shouted his greeting while waving his arm in the air. He had no top on, just his shorts, whereas Roxas has his long white top on as well as beige shorts. Roxas turned around and rolled his eyes at the loud and proud redhead. Axel walked into the kitchen and, like Roxas, straight to the fridge.

"There's no milk!" Axel shouted this. Roxas just ignored him, still with a milk mustache. The oldest boy walked back into the living room and knelt down, in front of Roxas who turned his head slowly, staring at him in the eyes.

"You got a mustache. Lemme get that for you." Axel leaned in, kissing Roxas on the lips and opening his mouth, within seconds the mustache was gone. Roxas was pushed back, against the back of the couch and kissed again. After a few seconds the blond pushed Axel away and slapped his bare chest playfully. He blushed.

"Axel! Stop it." Roxas smiled evilly and looked at Sora as the boy with tattoos under his eyes laughed and stepped back.

"He's just a messy, dirty little Roxas aren't you?" Axel ruffled Roxas' hair from behind and chuckled as Roxas pulled away.

"Should I leave you two alone for a moment?" Sora raised an eyebrow and grinned.

"Doesn't seem like a bad id-" Axel was interrupted.

"Uh, no, Axel was just going upstairs to get some clothes on. Weren't you?"

"Fine then." The redhead pouted and walked upstairs with a playful frown on his face, his arms crossed. Roxas looked at Sora again with a nervous smile. He scratched the back of his head and blushed even more than before.

"So then, changing the subject. When was that club you were talking about?" Roxas said this while giggling nervously and continued to blush.

"Tonight."

"Tonight?! On that short of notice?"

"Well yeah, I kinda forgot to mention it. Please say you will still come with me and Riku?" Sora grabbed Roxas' hand and pulled it towards him, pulling Roxas towards so their noses were almost touching.

"I wouldn't be the same without you! You HAVE to come!" Sora let go of Roxas' hand and let him sit back up straight. Roxas sighed with a small smile on his face and nodded.

"Yeah why not? Haven't been out in a while especially not to a club. I'll ask Axel while I go out with him." Roxas smiled and looked at the blank TV. Screen. Sora stopped smiling.

"You're going out with him today?"

"Uh huh. For an hour or so."

"But I wanted to…" Sora broke off and bowed his head. Roxas faced him again and put a hand on the brunette's cheek.

"Sora?"

"I'm fine really, just…got something in my eye. I need to go change okay?" Sora stood up and ran into the study room, with one hand covering his eyes. Roxas stood up but only to see the door slam shut. He sighed and looked at the floor. Sora had left his bag with all of his stuff in out by the couch. Roxas raised one eyebrow and picked it up, walking to the study room door and opening it.

"Hey Sora you forgot your-" He stopped, Sora stood in front of him, with his back facing Roxas. In his hand, Sora had two small pieces of paper. He tore them up and dropped the small scraps of paper in the bin next to the computer. Sora then looked up at Roxas and smiled.

"Thanks Roxas!" Sora took his bag and shut the door, preventing Roxas from seeing what the two papers were.

"Sora?" Roxas whispered this, Sora couldn't hear on the other side of the door.

"I'm ready! But look who isn't!" Axel's unusually cheerful voice hollered down from the top of the stairs as he came running down. Roxas jumped backwards in shock.

"You're not going out in your pajamas are you?"

"No."

"Please do."

"No!"

"You look so cute!"

"Shh!" Roxas leaned in closer to the door. Axel did too, not knowing why.

"What are we listening for?"

"Sora…he's-" He was interrupted by the redhead.

"Snoring?"

"No." Roxas shook his head and began to walk upstairs. Axel followed him closely. They spoke as walking up the stairs.

"I don't know why you are so happy and weird today."

"Me neither." Axel grinned and giggled as Roxas went into their room to change clothes.

Minutes later, Roxas came back down the stairs, wearing his normal clothes. Axel smiled and wrapped his arms around him from behind, kissing him on the neck.

"What is up with you today?" Roxas asked while tilting his head to one side. Sora was sat on the couch, he was dressed and watching TV. Roxas pulled Axel's arms off of him and walked towards Sora, he leaned over the bed of the chair so he was pretty close to the brunette.

"Hey Sora, me and Axel are going out now but you can stay here for as long as you like okay? Just eat anything you want out of the fridge. You can go back to sleep if you want or go on the computer or anything okay?" Sora turned his head and smiled sweetly at his concerned friend.

"I'll be fine. Have a good time okay?" The brunette turned back to face the TV again. Roxas sighed and stood up, ruffling the brunette's hair and walking back to Axel.

The blond and the redhead both walked down the road in the cold morning air. With every brisk breeze, if even a light one, Roxas shuddered. There was no snow but he felt like he was covered in it. The ends of his fingers started to go numb and so the teen clenched his fists and bowed his head, keeping his scarf wrapped around his nose and chin. The taller boy looked down at Roxas and smiled, putting an arm around his shoulder and letting Roxas snuggle up to his side, nuzzling him as well.

"It's so cold."

"The place where we're going will take the chill off. Now I'm not made of money, this place isn't cheap but I've got a little something that will make it all worth while for you, Roxas." The blond just smiled and looked up at his Seme.

"Coming out with you is enough, even staying at home with you makes me happy, Axel. We could even go to the park if you didn't want to spend any money." The teen looked at the smiling redhead and smiled cutely, then looked back down.

"Nah, I may not have that much, but the park is hardly fun. And you deserve the best, don't ya?" Axel squeezed Roxas tighter as they headed into a small café. The young boy looked round. He had only ever been in a café once and that was with Sora. Everything looked so clean and cozy. In fact Roxas had never been anywhere with his Father. Nowhere if a trip to the hospital or to one of Dad's drunk friend's house was called a trip somewhere.

Axel took the daydreaming Roxas' hand and led him to a set of chairs and a small table built for two. Roxas sat down next to the window and looked around again, smiling as he did. Axel just sat, staring into the blonde's eyes, as if they had cast a spell on him.

"Have you ever been here before?" Roxas seemed to snap out of it and looked at the boy with tattoos under each eye, then looked down at the table, bowing his head.

"Um, just once. When I was about ten, I guess. Dad took me here while he was waiting for one of his big friends to give him something. Some money or something. I never really wanted to pay attention to anything he did. So I just sat here and stared out of this window." Roxas continued to look out of the window, dreamily. Then he got pulled back into the real world and looked at Axel with a shocked look on his face.

"Sorry, I'm boring you! We can talk about anything you want to! Honestly I don't mind!" Roxas stopped, he noticed he had raised his voice so it sounded like he was shouting. He looked around and blushed with embarrassment.

"What's wrong with you? Why are you so…you're not boring me, I like hearing anything you have to say. It's a change from that hyper Sora or the guys at school." Axel leaned back in his chair and hung a smile from his lips.

"You're so cute when you blush." Axel leaned forward and pressed his lips against Roxas' so quickly it caught him off guard. The teen pulled back and wiped his mouth with the back of his hand. He frowned and looked around while whispering. People from other tables gave the couples a few strange looks.

"Axel! People are looking!" his tone was hushed and quiet, the blonde leaned in to let Axel hear what he was saying.

"Let them look." Again, Axel leaned in a pushed his lips against Roxas'. This time he put his hands on either one of Roxas' cheeks and pulled him towards, Roxas had to stand up and lean over the table, his face still red from blushing even more. However, the teen didn't pull away, even when he had to go on his tip-toes to reach Axel as he leaned back as far as he could. It was as if Axel was teasing Roxas for being shorter than him. Suddenly, Axel took something from his pocket and stuffed it into Roxas' jacket pocket and let go, letting Roxas sink back into his own chair.

"What was that?" Roxas put his hand in the pocket and pulled out a black and silver mobile phone. He frowned in confusion and looked at Axel who sat there with a smug grin on his face.

"Like it?"

"Axel…what's this?" Roxas held it in front of his face and examined the phone.

"It's a present, so you can keep I contact when I'm not there. I put credit on it for you so you can call straight away. What do you think?"

"I…-" Roxas smiled sweetly and put the phone on the table.

"I can't accept that, Axel. You said you don't have the money and this must have cost so much! I couldn't pay you back and…I just can't take it." Roxas blushed again and put his hands under the table.

"You don't like it?"

"No! It's not that I don't like it, you'd just have no money after this."Again Axel leaned in but didn't kiss the boy, he just whispered.

"I had very little money BECAUSE I bought you this. Please take it. It would mean a lot to me." Axel leaned back again and smiled while looking out of the window. Roxas sighed and picked the phone up again.

It's so nice that the got me this…but can I accept it? It feels weird getting gifts from Axel for some reason…

"Um…" Roxas smiled and held the phone close to his heart and smiled cutely at Axel.

"Okay." As soon as the blond accepted, the redhead lunged forward with a huge grin on his face.

"Great! I thought you didn't like it! Hey look, I took the liberty of choosing a song for my ID thing." Axel pulled out his own red and silver phone and began keying a number.

"Um, ID?"

"Uh huh, when I call you it was do a different ring tine to anyone else so you know it's me even before you answered it! Cool huh?"

"Uh h-"

"Listen." Axel pressed a final button and smiled. Suddenly, Roxas felt a small vibrating noise from his phone and looked at it. Then it began to play a tune so loudly everyone in the café could hear it.

*I've got something to put in you!I wanna take you to a Gay Bar,Gay Bar, Gar Bar!*

Roxas gasped and almost threw the phone in the air trying to make it stop. Everyone turned around and looked at the two sat down as he managed to figure out how, with now help from his taller friend. The blond blushed so violently he thought he would cry. The teen turned his head to the right to look out of the window and clenched his fists. Axel just burst out laughing and feel back in his chair, with his hand over his mouth.

"Um…" The quiet voice of a young waitress made Roxas' eyes widen as he turned his head to face her. She stood with a small pink apron on and an even smaller white dress underneath. She had medium length pale blond hair and a small nervous smile on her flawless face. She looked at Axel who was still taking the term "Lol" to a whole new level, and then back at Roxas.

"Um…would you like to order?" She pulled out a small notebook and a pink, fluffy pen. Roxas blinked and then kicked Axel under the table.

"Ow!"

"Time to order." Roxas put his hands under the table and looked at the girl out of the corner of his eye.

"Oh right, I'll have the special." The girl jotted it down quickly and looked at Roxas with a beaming face.

"And for you, Sir?" She looked around Roxas' age. Roxas blinked as he noticed he was staring.

"Um…I'll have the same." Roxas smiled sweetly then looked away, his face still red. Axel noticed this and stopped smiling. The girl nodded and walked away, behind the counter. Axel put his hand on top of Roxas' who had his hands outstretched in front of him. Roxas lifted his head and smiled as well.

"I love you, Roxas." Axel smiled warmly and glided his fingers over Roxas'.

"Love you too…thank you so much for this. I'll have to think of something to get you now." Roxas sat up straight and picked the phone again and laughed nervously.

"I would have to change that ID thing though…that was kinda embarrassing."

"Aw, man!" Axel chuckled and stared deeply into his Uke's eyes. Roxas was looking at his new phone, not Axel.

Why do I feel jealous? He only looked. Roxas would never…would he?

"Hey Roxas?" Axel's voice was dark, serious.

"Uh, yeah?"

"Why don't we…" He stopped and hung a small smile from his mouth.

"Why don't we go get ya some new clothes today huh?"

"What? No! You already got me this! If I need new clothes then I can pay for it myself. That reminds me, I don't think I told you but I found myself a job."

"A job? Who in the world would employ a 15 year old?" Axel leaned in and tried to look as interested as he could.

"Um, his name is Wakka. He's a family friend…sort of. He said come round sometime today so I guess I can go over to the docks soon." Roxas looked up at Axel and smiled cutely.

"And also there is one more thing. Sora said that tonight there is a club thing a few blocks away from the house. He asked if you would want to go?"Axel smiled and nodded. "Yeah sure I'd come. Although…I have some work to get on with. It's important. So I might be a little late. But I'll try to make it. Okay?" Roxas sighed softly and nodded slowly.

Why does he have to do work all the time?

His thoughts were interrupted by a loud crash and the sound of several plates smashing. Axel leaned to the side to see. Roxas turned around in his chair. The pale blonde girl had fallen over, spilling food everywhere. Shattering all the plates. Roxas stood up and rushed over, bending down to help the girl up.

"Hey are you alright?"

"Um, yeah I think so, thanks. I'm Namine." Namine held out her hand and smiled. Roxas took it and shook.

"Um, Roxas." There was a cough from the redhead's direction who hadn't moved an inch to help her. Roxas turned to face him and pointed.

"This is Axel, he's my…friend." Axel just frowned as Namine greeted him warmly. She then turned to Roxas slowly. Their eyes met. Roxas felt a little embarrassed and bent down again to start picking up the broken plates.

"Here, I'll help you."The girl put her hand on his shoulder, Roxas stopped and looked up to see her smiling face.

"Um, don't worry about it, you'll only get cut. I'll get the mop. That was your dinner as well…I'm so sorry!" Namine rushed off behind the counter to get a mop, leaving Roxas stood next to the pile of broke plates and food. He sat back down and faced Axel.

"What a clumsy idiot!" Axel scoffed and turned to the side with the frown still hanging on his brow.

"Be nice, I'm clumsy sometimes too."

"Yeah but when you do it you're cute. She just looked like an elephant on ice!" Axel crossed his arms and looked out of the window. Roxas sighed lightly again and rested his head in his hands.

--

The two boys walked out of the café and into the road. Their stomachs stuffed with the food they eventually got. There was no talking until Roxas built up the courage to speak to his Seme.

"Hey, um Axel? Are you okay?"

"Uh huh."

"You don't look it."

"I am, Roxas." Axel sighed and Roxas just smiled even though he knew Axel wasn't. In an attempt to cheer him up, he grabbed the redhead's hand and held it. Axel's eyes went wide and he tightened his grip on the blonde's hand.

"You know what, Axel? I'm going to take us both out for day when I get my first paycheck. We can go anywhere. My treat as a favor for the phone okay?" He smiled sweetly and looked up at Axel who had now joined him in smiling.

"Uh huh." Axel shuddered and gently rubbed Roxas' palm with his thumb. Roxas wrapped his arms around the Seme and nuzzled his side.

"Promise." The blond said this quietly and squeezed tighter the cold making him feel numb. Axel smiled and put an arm around the boy as they both walked down home.

--

"Sora! We're home!" Roxas called out while looking around the house for his friend.

"Are you still here?"

A groan noise came from the couch in the living room. Roxas walked around it to see that Sora had fallen asleep…again! The blonde nudged him and smiled.

"Wakey wakey sleepy head!" Sora sat up and rubbed his eyes.

"You're back!" Sora wrapped his arms around the blonde neck and nuzzled his chest, pulling Roxas down. "Uh, yeah we are." He let out a nervous chuckle. Axel put his coat on the banister and sighed.

"How much sleep does a hyper little brunette need anyways?" He walked over to the kitchen and bet down to the fridge even though he had just eaten out.

"Well, I didn't really get to sleep last night. I guess I was still a little tired." Sora giggled nervously and looked at his blond friend.

Something kept him awake…

"Well what was it? Were you hungry? Cold? Hot?" Roxas stood up and put his hand on the brunette's shoulder.

"Um…no…I heard noises from upstairs." Sora pointed upstairs and giggled again as Roxas froze. His eyes widened and he went red from embarrassment.

We were making…noises…? Me and Axel were loud enough to keep Sora awake…?

Roxas looked at his friend and smiled anxiously.

"Um…could be mice! Axel isn't the tidiest of people…you know…" "Huh?" Axel leaned in from the kitchen, a sea salt ice cream in his mouth. "Oh are you talking about last night, Sora? Yeah, we were a little loud, it was kind of Roxas' fault though." Axel grinned evilly as he ruffled the now violently blushing blonde's hair. Roxas stood and began chasing the redhead around the house, until they ran upstairs and Axel shut the door.

I'm not stupid…Roxas I-

Sora clenched his fists and bowed his head. Silence filled the room.
